It begins with this week\u2019s Mexico Open at VidantaWorld, followed promptly by the World Wide Technology Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Vidanta Vallarta will play host to Tom Kim, playing on tour for the first time since winning a gold medal at the Asian Games in Japan earlier this month and securing an exemption from his country\u2019s mandatory military service. TK has one PGA Tour win this year, at the Genesis Scottish Open, but hasn\u2019t tried his luck in the fall. He\u2019ll be joined by the highest-ranked golfer in the field, World No. 5 Wyndham Clark, as well as defending champ Brian Campbell, Ben Griffin and Aldrich Potgieter.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Hodges is currently No. 100 on the FedEx Cup points list, this week\u2019s bubble boy with the top 100 players at the end of the Fall finish earning full PGA Tour cards. He\u2019ll be jockeying for position with Tony Finau (104), Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen (101), A.J. Ewart (105), Rico Hoey (106), Max Greyserman (99), Chandler Phillips (98) and Taylor Pendrith (96). John Daly II also will be making his second start on tour in 2026, but his first as a professional. He played and made the cut(!) at the Puerto Rico Open, ultimately finishing T-37.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Luckiest break ever?!<\/p>\n<p>Brian Campbell&#8217;s ball bounces off the trees and stays in bounds on the second playoff hole! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/KWBMbGtaKE\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/KWBMbGtaKE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PGA Tour (@PGATour) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/PGATour\/status\/1893802700237668644?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">February 23, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Campbell won last year\u2019s Mexico Open in a playoff with a surprising bounce off the trees to somehow stay in bounds during the second playoff hole.
